Let's Play Together through Channels: Understanding the Practices and Experience of Danmaku Participation Game Players in China
Danmaku Participation Games (DPGs) represent a significant evolution in live-streamed interactive entertainment, specifically within the Chinese digital landscape on the Bilibili platform.
- Danmaku Participation Games (DPGs) on Bilibili allow viewers to control individual characters independently via chat commands, a significant evolution from traditional crowd-based Audience Participation Games (APGs) that rely on collective voting.
- Unlike APGs, which often suffer from fragile connections and limited individual agency, DPGs provide each player with a unique identity and the ability to interact directly with other players, leading to higher engagement.
- The shift to independent control reduces reliance on streamers to host or facilitate gameplay, allowing streamers to focus on game optimization while players spontaneously manage channel order and community moderation.
